Iraq Occupation: This war can't be won
The Bush administration is revving up its media manipulation machinery with a new push on "winning" in Iraq. In the latest sales pitch for why we are there, President Bush says, in effect, that Americans are fortunate to have drawn terrorists into a fight on somebody else's soil.

3. How can you "win?"
America, her troops, millions around the world have paid dearly with lives, money, livlihoods. At best America will score a Pyrrhic victory in Iraq, and at worst, well I do not even want to think about that. The Iraqi people have already lost a game they never asked to play.

4. That's disgusting! Let's see,
we've sacrificed over 100,000 innocent Iraqi lives in the interest of fighting "terraists" who weren't there before we got there. And before long, as many Americans will have died in Iraq as died in the WTC. How is this "fortunate"?

The Chimp should burn in hell! :nuke:
